Salaam,
I have a question about drawing blood while in a state of ihram during hajj. If someone uses an interdental brush during ihram and it causes their gums to bleed, does this require any form of penalty or expiation?
Also if a person were to hold a soap bar in the restrooms to smell and check if it is fragranced and discovers that it is so, although the soap was not applied to the entire limb (only held using 3 fingers and put down immediately), what is the required penalty?

Salaam,
My father recently passed away, and my mother's iddah has now begun. Prior to this event, she had purchased a Hajj package and made full payment. The Hajj season falls within her iddah period, and we are seeking guidance on whether there is any flexibility that would allow her to travel.
A key concern is that she had made a vow to perform Hajj, which is now obligatory upon her. She has already completed her first obligatory Hajj, and this is a separate vow that must be fulfilled as soon as possible. Additionally, she has spent a significant portion of her savings on this trip.
Other considerations include:
- I (her son) have also purchased a non-refundable Hajj package, and the funds for all our packages have already been deducted.
- Due to personal constraints, I will not be able to perform Hajj in the future.
- There will be no one available to accompany my mother for Hajj after this year.
- She is aging and becoming physically weaker, making future travel more challenging.
Given the difficulty of our situation, is there any dispensation within the Hanafi school—or another school—that would permit her to proceed with Hajj despite being in iddah?
We would greatly appreciate your guidance on this matter.
JazakAllah khair

Replied!
We are back at home (Pakistan) now, can we sacrifice of a goat (Dam) in Pakistan or necessary to do this in Markka.
Before came back we asked from Mufti, he asked you just give sadaqah no need to sacrifice of a goat (Dam) as this was a just touched to hands and lips, because pleasant smell will not spread to others, that's why,

Assalaamualaikum,
My question pertains to going for Hajj when one finds himself financially stable. Alhamdulillah, i feel that i can plan my Hajj as i find myself financially stable now. However, there are a couple of concerns my way to which i wanted ro seek your guidance.
I have two young daughters (2year and 6 year old respectively) and i am a salaried person by profession.
So, my questions are-
1. Is it compulsory for me to perform Hajj in the current year given i am capable, even if that means leaving out my daughters with their grand parents? Or do i have a leeway to wait until they grow up?
2. I am finding difficult to get a full 30-35 day leave from my office so what should be my priority, (a) wait for the next years to get a full 30-35 days leave or (b) try to get the Hajj done in the current year but in a shorterned period (possible 10-15 days which i am more likely to get an off from office) (c) Leave the job and go to Hajj for a full 30-35 day period?
JazakAllah for your time.

السلام عليكم
I hope all is well.
Mufti I really need some advice, I have recently performed 2 Umrahs during the same trip. After completing the first umrah I removed my hair very short (about 3-4 inches) down to a number 3 in length.
However, during my second umrah about 3 days later, I didn’t want to go bald and trimmed my hair to a number 2, so removed about 5mm from the entire head intentionally. Is this valid or am I still in the state of ihram. Is there any wrong doing and is there anything I need to do. This is really eating away at me so would really appreciate a response as soon as possible.

Salaams,
I will be travelling from UK to Saudi to perform Umrah Insha'Allah. However, we will be staying in Jeddah for four nights prior to travelling to Makkah for the Umrah.
What is the Islamic ruling on Miqaat in our case? Where can we wear the Ihram for Umrah? All guidance on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Assalamu'akaykum,
I have recently gotten married alhamdulillah but me and my husband live apart and see eachother twice a week. Initially we planned to save up for a home which would've took roughly a year. However, he has changed his mind and wants to now use our savings to go to hajj and then buy a home. Is this duty of going hajj priority since I thought it was okay to buy a home first and then save up for hajj and we have been having constant disputes because of this.

Salam, it is stated that we are prohibited to remove/shave/pluck/cut any hair while we are in the state of ihram during umrah. What is the ruling of removing/brushing away a STRAY eyelash from one’s eye that had already fallen from its root? Will one have to pay the penalty for this, even if we forgot about the rules momentarily?

I am a women of age 23 years, Single. Can I perform hajj with my parents as my parents can afford it? Will it be counted as an obligatory hajj because my parents are financing it?
or Would I have to perform it again when I started earning myself?
JazakiAllah Khair.
